• Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN) are a set of diseases associated with too many blood cells of a certain type in the body.

• These cells overcrowd other cells, leading to imbalance and disease state.

• Testing for MPN related genetic changes can uncover the genetic cause of the overproduction and allow for treatment related decisions.
